"Love is the answer, but while you are waiting for the answer, sex
raises some pretty good questions."
Woody Allen

---

The worst part about waking up after an all-night fraternity party
isn't the hangover; it's fighting your memory tooth and nail to
remember everything that you did. Or everything that you didn't do.
And when you finally figure it out, a lot of the time you wish you
hadn't remembered what you fought so hard to remember.

It's an added bonus to try to do it when you wake up in a dorm room
that's not your own, with the sun casting its glare right on your
face. Or with a radio next door blaring music loud enough to wake the
dead, never mind the drums in your OWN head. Oh... and one other small
detail. You're in bed, with your best friend.

The one person you're closest to in the whole school. The woman you
tease, because she admitted to you that she was still a virgin,
because she hadn't found the right person to lose it to.  But that's
ok, because she can tease you about the same thing. And from the way
you two are wrapped up in each other, without clothing,  makes it a
good bet, if not a certainty, that the two of you remedied each
other's condition the night previous, when at least one, if not both
of you were too out of it to really stop it. Wrap your mind around
that, and see how much coherent thought you're capable of Trust me,
you spend some time just hoping that the world ends suddenly, because
you're not sure on how to deal with the consequences.

I am NOT a morning person, I joke that my preferred alarm clock
setting is to make sure that I get up at the crack of noon. But
adrenalin does quite a lot to clear one's head. I very slowly,
carefully slide myself from her grasp, drawing a sleepy moan of
protest from her lips as she shifts, and I regret leaving her warmth,
but decide to soldier on, anyway.

I had been in Kaitlin's room enough that I knew where most of the
important stuff was. Fortunately, Kaitlin's roommate had decided to
take off-campus housing, so Kaitlin had a double all to her self, and
she loved the extra space. She installed one of those plug in coffee
pots, saying that she could deal with many things in the morning, but
never anything before she had at least one cup of coffee in her.
Decaffeinated coffee was one of the most ridiculous inventions of her
lifetime, only surpassed by "Instant" coffee. She even made weekly
trips down to a nearby grocery store to select the proper types of
coffee, and to make sure they were fresh ground. It was one of her
little foibles, but right now, I was glad...

As I scrounged a couple mugs from her closet, and set the coffee to
percolate, I sighed, and wished I could remember what led us to this
situation, I wasn't totally clueless, I remembered the fraternity
party. They were an off-campus fraternity, and had connections among
the local police, so, basically, if the neighbors didn't complain, and
no one drove afterwards, they had no problem with the fraternity
having a discreet party every so often.

I don't drink, much, really. But in this case one drink became two...
and two become three... and three became a Jagermeister shot... and
then it became... "Well, I'm already half way there, why not have one
more." And "I'm going to feel it tomorrow anyway, so I might as well
do the crime if I'm going to do the time." The last thing I remember
was having a "last shot" and seeing what was going on at the pool...
After that, it was one big alcohol related blur, no matter how much I
tried. That was a pretty good statement on how much alcohol I had
consumed.

As the smell of the percolating coffee reached my nose, I realized
that the hangover was still there, as the strong smell made me
slightly queasy, so I headed into her bathroom and grabbed a couple
aspirin from her medicine cabinet.

After I poured the coffee, I realized that it wouldn't be a GOOD thing
if Kaitlin woke up, and the first thing she saw was my body au
natural, so to speak, so I grabbed my underwear and my shorts from the
pile of clothing on the floor. (The items were mixed equally, as if we
had undressed at the same time. Another sign, and not a good one). I
drank half of the first cup of coffee in one large gulp, letting the
hot liquid gush down my throat. A few seconds later, when I recovered
from my nerves, screaming at me, I groaned in pain... I forgot how hot
the coffee would be, but after a few seconds of doing my best beached
fish impersonation, sucking in cool air, the pain subsided, and I
awaited the so-called best part of waking up to wake me up fully. The
aspirin were duly consumed with another splash of hot coffee, and now,
it was time to wait. Kind of like a condemned man on death row, only
in this case, not knowing when and if the switch is going to be
flipped.

I actually had time to finish the first cup of coffee and pour myself
a second, before I finally see Kaitlin stir. Apparently the smell of
the coffee was too much for her desire to sleep (As I said, she's a
coffee-aholic). As she slowly came to her senses, I heard her mutter.
"Oh, my fucking head." to herself, eyes still wired shut against the
encroaching sunlight. Deciding that if I was going to face the
situation, I might as well face it as quickly as possible, I quietly
said, "Hey, you should see the other guy."

Apparently, my sense of humor was not well received. "That's right...
laugh it up Thompson..." she muttered... then it hit her. Like a ten-ton
sledgehammer. "STEVE?!?!?!!"  She shot upright, throwing the blanket
forward as she moved. I took a second to appreciate her small, but
well formed breasts pointing out at me. Hey, I might have been
hung-over and shocked at what happened, but I was still male and
heterosexual.

Kaitlin looked like she was going to continue looking about wildly,
but the effects of the hangover had hit by then, and she slumped back
in the bed with a groan. As her bare skin touched the sheet, she
realized she was nude and shrieked again, pulling the blanket over her
body. It was quite comical to watch. Somehow, though, I knew that if I
was to laugh about it, that they would be picking parts of me off the
ground for miles around. She normally had a great sense of humor, but
it was quite evident that her sense of humor was non-existent today.

Before she could demand to know what I was doing there. I quickly
handed her a cup of coffee and two more aspirin. "Let's kill the worst
of the hangover, and then we'll discuss things." She glared at me, but
accepted the coffee and the aspirin and just like me, drank half the
mug in one gulp, and chased the aspirin, with what's left. She took a
few deep breaths, did her best to compose herself, and then went back
to glaring at me. Her green eyes were narrow, and she cast glances
around the room in between glares, as if she expected to be on Candid
Camera or something.

"So... what's this, some kind of prank? How'd you get in...? Where's
my clothes... and why do I feel sore..." she growled at me, before
turning ash white as realization set in. She may have had a
hangover... but she has no problem in putting 2+2+2 together and
getting 6. The hand that wasn't holding the coffee mug disappeared
under the spread, apparently checking to see if there was any dampness
in the sheets. Her eyes were wide as she looked at me.

"Yeah. I think we..." my voice trailed off, as I sighed, and indicated
the pile of discarded clothing. I mean, how the hell are you supposed
to tell your best friend... "I think we got drunk and boinked each
other". There's no book on how to work that into conversation, is
there?

"So, what you're saying is... We got drunk, and decided to take each
others cherries, and screw like bunnies, eh?" she exclaimed,
disbelievingly. Well... Kaitlin was never one for book learning,
anyway.

"Kaitlin... I..." I attempted to get out before she interrupted me.

"Steve... I'm sorry... I just need time to think. I didn't mean to...
I didn't want to... I didn't expect to..." She tried to get out, her
voice trailing off each time she tried to find a politic way to say
she never expected to end up in bed with me.

"It's ok. I think I'm going to get my stuff, head home, and sleep off
this hangover, ok?" I said quietly to her. I was a little upset (ok,
more then a little upset) that this has apparently changed our
relationship, and probably not for the better. I mean, the one thing
we always agreed on, was that sex was never going to come between
us... and it looks like we blew that up real good, and for something
we don't even remember.

Apparently, she was feeling the exact same way I did. "Yeah. Do that.
I'll catch up with you later." Kaitlin said, not looking at me, and
just lay back, looking at the ceiling as I gathered the rest of my
clothing, dressed, and headed towards her door.

The crisp October air helped ameliorate the worst effects of the
hangover, as I walked back to my dorm. The leaves had just about
finished falling off the trees (we joke that one of the reasons we
appreciate the leaves changing color each fall so much is that it
makes up for the amount of effort we put up with raking them and
bagging them, and all that good stuff.

Luckily, it's only a five minute walk back to my dorm, because the
cold air had raised goosebumps on my legs before I could get back to
my dorm. I stopped at my room to get a clean set of undressed before I
jumped into the shower. Freshly showered and changed into clean
clothing, I headed back to my room. I noticed my roomie, Matt, had
once again left his side of the room a mess. Thank god he was visiting
family this weekend. I did not want him to ask where I had been all
hours of the night and day. Or to hear him practice guitar. All I
wanted now was to get forty, eighty, or heck, even 120 winks, and try
to forget this morning had ever happened.

With most of the dorm either out doing stuff or visiting friends and
family for the weekend, it was fairly easy to light proof the room (a
shade down and towels stuffed under the door to prevent light from the
hallway from spilling in). I've found when my sleeping pattern gets
all screwed up by a night out; I can at least relax in complete
darkness, and do my best to catch up on sorely needed sleep.

Some time in between ten minutes and ten hours later (I couldn't tell,
I even turn the clock away from me and put a towel over it to make
sure the light doesn't bother me), I decided that I was fully awake,
and sat up. There was a teeny bit of light from the door, and I slowly
walked over, and checked the towels. One of the towels had been pushed
in slightly, and right next to it, was a neatly folded piece of
paper... Turning on the light, I went back and sat on my bed to read
it. My explosive breath when I recognized the handwriting seemed to
get caught in my chest.

"Steve... I know you like to play Vampire-In-The-Dark when you're
wasted after a good party... but we need to talk. Call my room as soon
as you're up... Ok?"

Kaitlin's signature was a bit slanted, and it was obvious to me she
still felt a little stressed out about the situation. But the fact
that she was back to her normal sarcastic self with that vampire
comment was a good thing. I sighed, and grabbed the phone. I got the
tone that indicated I had a message waiting, but I assumed it was
Kait... and I already knew what she had to say. I punched in her phone
number, and she picked up after the 2nd ring with a tentative "hello?"

"Hey Kait... I got your note..." Her voice firmed as she interrupted
me. "Good. You decent? Actually. I don't care. You can get decent by
the time I get there." Her voice was businesslike and brisk, like a
CEO speaking to an underling. I was a little startled by how abrupt
she was. Normally, we'd chat about this and that for several minutes
before getting to the meat of any conversation, and tried to rally
with a joke "Wait... don't I get a vote in this?" Her voice was
SLIGHTLY less taut and had a little bit of the Kaitlin-sarcasm I knew
in it. "Of course not. This isn't a democracy. It's an enlightened
dictatorship, and I'm the dictator!"

I grinned, even though she couldn't see it. "Well, I know the fate of
people who try to resist dictators, so come on over, Kait. The room
isn't too much of a mess." The fact that we were actually going to
TALK about it made me a little happier, although I knew it would still
be a long and difficult. Well... whatever it was outside. (That's the
problem with my cure for a hangover. It can leave you VERY disoriented
and out of whack. But its better then suffering, and then trying to
catch up on sleep!),

Kaitlin sighed, and there was relief in that sigh, as if she too was
glad there was a bit of normalcy after the events of the day. "Great.
Be there in about 10. Matt's gone for the weekend, right?"

"Yeah... he's down in Providence visiting his folks." I confirmed,
although I wondered what that had to do with anything. I think she,
like me, wanted to discuss it between us before the rest of the world
knew about it.

"That's good. See you in 10 then." She said, and after we exchanged
(temporary) farewells, picked up the place as best as I could. Don't
get me wrong, Matt's saved my butt more then once on issues, but his
housekeeping leaves a bit to be desired, and god knew I didn't want a
copy of Playboy with Miss September showing all when Kait got to my
dorm. I had ENOUGH issues already!

I managed to open the shade and uncover the clock (both of which
confirmed it was early evening, around 7 PM.)  and pull on sweatpants,
and a "walk-around" shirt. I was also going to check (and erase) the
message on the phone, but before I could do that, there was a buzz
from the intercom for me. She had arrived at the entrance, and was
waiting for me to let her in.

As I pressed the buzzer to let her in, if you said I had butterflies
in my stomach, it would be at least close to the truth, but if they
were butterflies, they were the size of grapefruits or watermelons and
they wanted OUT! I opened my door, and walked over to the stairway, so
I could greet her properly. I guess I kind of caught my breath,
because Kaitlin, well.. looked DIFFERENT!

Her black hair was tied back in a ponytail, and she wore her favorite
sweater (a kelly-green one) that matched her eyes pretty well, and
just as important, as least to the male eye,  fit her snugly, showing
off her assets, such as they were. Her long legs were encased in a
pair of beige pants that showed them off. In other words, she wasn't
looking like someone who was visiting a close friend, she looked more
like she was going out on a date. She half-smiled, half-smirked as she
came up to me, and tossed a black bag at me that I caught out of
reflex. "Hey, Stevie Wonder.. About time you woke up.  Figured with
the sun gone down, you'd awake from your dirt nap."

Still kind of confused and befuddled, although I think it was in a
GOOD way, I led her into my room, and shut the door behind us.
"Kaitlin, listen, I'm sorry.. I don't know what happened between us,
but I promise you, I didn't try to set this up.." I put the bag down
next to the door, and turned to face her.

Now that we were finally talking face to face again, the steel that
had infused her voice over the phone had seemingly turned to silly
putty. But there was still the Kaitlin I knew behind it. "I know. I
know. God help me, Steve, I didn't try to do it either. But it
happened, and we have to deal with it, ok? Don't flake out on me.."

The butterflies in my stomach all of a sudden froze over, and sunk to
my feet as I realized a fact that I hadn't thought about. "Oh my god,
Kaitlin.. what if you're pregnant.. what if..."

She cut me off there before I could babble too much on. "I said DON'T
flake out on me, Thompson! And it's a good thing that you've thought
about it. Luckily, my mom arranged for me to go on the birth control
pill back in high school. So don't worry.. there won't be any Little
Kaitlin's running around just yet. This is a good thing, cuz my Dad
would attempt to hogtie us into a wedding." 

Truth be told, I had met Kaitlin's dad at a college orientation thing.
Button down, wore a three piece suit where everybody was wearing jeans
and t-shirts, kinda the Corporate America type. And she's right. He'd
be saying "You're going to do the right thing by my daughter". And her
mother would be arranging the wedding. Oh god. They are good folks,
don't get me wrong. But like wild tigers, the best place to view them
is from a distance. With several inches of armor between you and them.

She smiled, the first real smile I'd seen from her since this whole
thing started. "I have to say, "Yay Mom" for exhibiting forethought.
Something we seemed to lack last night." The smile wavered a second,
but there seemed to be a hidden meaning behind her smile. But I'm not
sure I caught the full indications.

I sighed, and grabbed us two Cokes from the mini fridge Matt and I
shared. I cracked it open.. and kind of pondered what to do next. She
did the same, and I looked up, and decided to voice my thoughts. "Ok,
Kait, we've decided that what happened last night was nobody's fault,
or both of our faults, or whatever. The question is.. where do we go
from here."

Kaitlin stood up and looked out the window, seemingly lost in thought,
before she spoke, "You know, out of all the different ways I imagined
my first time to be, I never thought it would be with my best friend,
when we're too drunk to stop, let alone REMEMBER what we did."

I stood behind her, and put a hand on her shoulder, and felt her lean
back against me, for support and reassurance more then comfort. She
took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and turned to me and said
quietly. "That's why I'm hoping that my first time will be with my
best friend, we're going to be completely sober, and I'm going to
hopefully remember it always."

One of these days, somebody's going to tell me something utterly
shocking, like "The moon is made of green cheese" or "Politicians
really care about the people who vote for them." And I'll be perfectly
fine with that. However, in this case, with my best friend saying not
only did we sleep together previously and that's seemingly a bad
thing, but she wants to do it again, this time when we're completely
sober.. I did my fish out of water impersonation again.

She spoke quickly, as if to get it all out. "I know everything you're
going to say, Steve, so let me counter every argument now, and save
time arguing, and just get straight to the yes or no answer, ok?
You're going to say that we apparently did it last night, how did it
not happen.. and I'll say, because I say it doesn't. Anything you are
too drunk or too tired to remember, didn't really happen."

She took a deep breath, and let it out slowly, as if she was gaining
confidence. "Then you're going to say if last night didn't happen, why
do you want to do it tonight? And I say that even though we're
pretending it didn't happen, we can't take back what happened. Let's
face it Steve, you and I are apparently no longer virgins, at least in
the technical sense. And being virgins is like breathing. Either you
are, or you're not. There really isn't a "kind of" setting. There's a
yes, and there's a no."

She waited as if I was going to object, but I was still too shocked to
speak. "And finally, you want to know why it's you I want to do it
with. Well.. part of it is what we did last night. It was us before,
it should be us now. But more importantly, you're my best friend. I
can't count the amount of stuff you and I have been through. I'd
rather have my first time be at the hands of someone I really like, if
not quite love yet, rather then some person I barely know. So, unless
you say no.. I say yes."

Well, the good thing about being stunned so repeatedly within one day
is that once you hit a certain point of being stunned, nothing more
can faze you. In fact, I think the word love would have shocked me so
much normally, coming from her that I would have been a gibbering
wreck by the end of the day. But my shock-o-meter had burned out from
this day.. so all that was left was rational thought.

"If you've thought it out that much, Kait, I can't fight it, nor do I
really want to. But before we do this.. you got to promise me
something. Good or bad or indifferent or whatever, we're still
friends, ok? I'm not throwing away a year and a half of studying,
partying, deep meaningful conversations, and a bunch of random
activities for a few seconds of physical pleasure."

She smiled and nodded her head, and pulled me to her.. I'm a couple
inches taller then her, but all that meant she had to tilt her head
slightly as our lips met for the first time. And I could tell it was
our first time kissing. I think, somehow, if I was dead and a
skeleton, the feeling of her lips touching mine for the first time
would get a reaction. Her lips had a slight taste of strawberries, and
even though we were both tentative to start, our confidence slowly
grew, and as our kiss deepened, I could see her eyes widen from the
sensations. I'm sure I was doing the same thing. 

After a few more seconds I felt her tongue tentatively seek mine, and
our kiss became more.. charged. She was almost literally melting into
me, and I'm not sure if we wouldn't still be there if we ran low on
oxygen. I'm sure that "Stunned-beyond-belief" expression was back on
my face. And for once, it was mirrored on her own face. She recovered
slightly faster then I did.. but only slightly faster. A single
solitary, lightly breathed "Wow", escaped her mouth, but that was it.
She was as speechless as I was.

I wanted nothing more then to do that kiss, over and over and over
again, but I kind of knew that In some ways, no kiss would ever beat
that first one. But she gently pushed me back toward my bed, and
locked her mouth to mine again, not even pausing as I half sat,
half-stumbled on the bed. It wasn't as good as the first one, in some
ways. It was better in some ways too!

An eternity/instant later, her hands were tugging at my clothing, and
my hands were gently stroking at her sweater, both of us caught up in
the emotion of the moment. Within seconds, she had my shirt off, and
was softly running her finger tips over my bare skin. (A sensation I
found VERY erotic!). A few seconds after that, she raised her hands
and let me gently pull her sweater over her head, and dropped it to
the floor. Her breasts were contained in a sports bra, but the flush
of her neck and chest spoke volumes about her arousal.

I looked at her and indicated the sports bra with a raised eyebrow,
and she blushed. "I wasn't 100% sure you would agree, and I didn't
want to spend hours without one, if we were going to go out, or
something", she half apologized, half stammered. I quieted her
explanation by kissing her once more. This time, our kisses were
different, as we had more points of contact. No longer was it just our
lips touching in the skin on skin department.. most of her chest and
my chest were no longer covered, and we discovered the joys of skin on
skin contact. There wasn't much movement, but every time there WAS
movement, we delighted in the feeling of our skin touching.

We ended up lying down, facing each other. Taking a deep breath to
steady myself, I took my hands and hooked a couple fingers underneath
the hem of her sports bra.. and looked at her, to get her ok. She was
visibly nervous, biting her lip, but she nodded, and I gently tugged
upwards with my fingers, finding some resistance, until the bra
finally came over her breasts, and she raised her arms again, and I
tossed the bra into the pile of clothing.

I had seen them for a couple seconds this morning, but somehow, the
situation was different now. She was only a 32-B, when it came to
bras, but when confronted with the real thing, as the saying goes,
"there was no flaw to be found". Her breasts even seemed to have a
slight curve upwards, this might have been because her nipples, which
weren't big, stood out like tiny eraser nubs. Compared to the girl who
previously seemed to be so confident about everything, she now looked
at me a bit nervously, obviously seeking my approval.

I decided that it was something that could not be expressed in words,
it could only be properly shown by action. I gently hefted a breast in
one hand, squeezing it gently, and ran my finger over a nipple
experimentally, causing her to take a sharp breath, and just gently
continued my exploration.

Gathering strength from my approval, she reached down, and ever so
gently squeezed my groin through my sweatpants. I think it was a
wonder that I didn't explode in my pants at that moment, the air was
so charged with erotic lust. We started kissing again, our tongues
dancing into each other's mouth, the kisses becoming more and more
demanding, as we surrendered our hearts and souls to a more primitive
time, of a mating dance between a man and a woman.

My hands found her pants and gently stroked her leg, and she shifted,
swinging her leg on top of mine, trapping me within her embrace, and
started to move her leg up and down. A breathy moan came from her
mouth as I kissed down her neck. "Pleassssssssse Steve.. you're
driving me crazy. Oh god, I don't know how much more of this I can
take..." Her eyes were almost completely shut as she concentrated on the
sensations her body was broadcasting, nearly overwhelming her.

But as my hands traveled towards the front of her legs, and the
treasure that was still hidden from view by her pants, her eyes flew
open, and locked onto mine, like a heat seeking missile. She nodded
once, and my hands unbuckled the snap of her pants.. and she shifted
her body to help me, as I removed her pants. All that stood between my
gentle touch and her most private of places was a thin, wispy, barely
there set of panties that seemed to glisten with her moisture, and did
very little  to hide her damp thatched hair and what lay beyond.

It was her turn, and she had no problem with removing my sweatpants,
and watched, eyes wide, as I shifted out of them, my briefs doing
their best to contain the raging erection that our mutual explorations
had brought us to the point. We looked at each other silently,
wondering who would be so bold as to take this step first. Our souls
were laid bare in those moments where our bodies were not quite so
bare. Both of us asking the other to be the strong one.

At roughly the same time, we came to a mutual decision. Our left hands
intertwined with each other, our fingers interlacing, and our right
hands tugged at the other's clothing. It took several seconds, and at
one point, one required help from the other... but the last two
garments joined all their brethren on the floor. We had gotten this
far together. Now we had to take one more step.

She rolled onto her back, pulling me with her, her legs making sure I
was positioned between her legs as they hesitantly spread open. My
first attempt to penetrate her was less then a rousing success, the
head of my penis dragged across her pussy lips, causing a groan from
both our mouths, but after a false start on the second try, I found
the position. My cock was poised at her hidden entrance. Her juices
were flowing quite well at this point, and as I tried to find the
right angle, I felt her warmth coating me, welcoming me, pulling at
me.

I leaned down and kissed her forehead, as I felt my cock find the
angle. All I would have to do now is push, and I would be inside of
her. I looked down. I tried to tell her with my eyes that she still
had a choice to proceed or stop, and I would be fine with whatever she
wanted. And in her eyes, there was no question. There was no worry.
There was no pain. There was just acceptance, and desire, and
happiness. I guess you could say it was just plain love and lust
combined.

And with our pact sealed, I moved forward with my hips.. and my cock
slowly, almost painfully disappeared within Kaitlin. She gasped softly
as the head slipped inside.. and I pushed..

And was stopped.

Our eyes flew open and we looked at each other in utter panic.

Her hymen was STILL THERE!!!

That meant that we hadn't.. that we had worried about.. That we were
doing this..

I swear.. no matter how hot-blooded Kaitlin was at that moment, she
could still act as if she had ice water in her veins. How she did it
will forever be a mystery. She just looked down and said,  "Well, I
guess we based this off an assumption. And you know what they say
about the word assume.."

I found the combination of horror and surprise (and yes, still a bit
of lust) a potent combination, and laughed along with her.. (this kind
of made us both go cross-eyed for a few seconds, as our laughter did
all kinds of interesting things to our connected bodies.) "Yeah.. " I
managed to get out. "It's made an ass out of u and me". We laughed
quieter this time, and then I banished the frivolity from my voice.
"Do you want to stop? I mean, it's still there.."

The laughter disappeared from her voice. But there was a bit of the
teasing Kaitlin in her reply. "Only if you want to die, or maybe I'd
have that thing of yours bronzed and THEN kill you. We've gone this
far, I'm NOT stopping now!" she commanded in an imperial voice. There
was nothing to do but to obey 

I nodded, and took a deep breath. "Ok. You're right.. we've gone this
far..." and without warning, pushed into her, hoping that if she didn't
have a chance to tighten up, it would hurt less. I felt a couple
moments of intense pressure against the head of my cock, and then it
let go, and I could see there was at least a slight sting, as her
breath caught in her chest.

I stopped, and waited for her to deal with the pain. A minute or two
later.. she looked up, and into my eyes, her eyes shining over
slightly. She didn't say anything, just nodded once.. and put her head
back as I pushed inside of her once more.

After a few seconds, I was finally fully inside of her. I just let her
adjust for a few more seconds, and leaning down, and kissing her in
time with my strokes in and out.. building a rhythm. I felt her breath
quicken with every thrust, and she wordlessly urged me on, moving back
at me with every movement of her body.

Virgins (for that's what we were in truth!) are notoriously
hair-triggered, and we had been running out on the jagged edge for a
while now. Even though it only lasted 10 minutes, it seemed like it
took us forever to find release. Her wordless cry as she hit her
plateau played a shrill counterpoint, to my bass growl of release. I
had heard tales in the past that a powerful orgasm had the ability to
"short-circuit" your nervous system, overloading the neural pathways
with the sensation, and causing the lucky recipient to pass out. I
always thought it poetic license. 

Well, I don't know about passing out. I do know I saw the stars and
flashing lights in my vision for a good 20 seconds as I seemingly
poured out my entire being inside of her, and listened to her howling
acceptance of my gift to her. I felt like I had touched a live wire,
and my body was rigid with the electricity running through it. When
finally, I stopped exploding in her, it was like the switch had been
flipped, and my body shut OFF. I managed to turn her so we were on our
sides facing each other, and collapsed on the bed. Our bodies still
flushed from our exertion, panting from exhaustion (and leftover
arousal), and a bit sweaty, but at that moment, Kaitlin was the most
beautiful woman in the world.

We just lied there, for quite a bit, just recovering our breath, and
trying to unscramble our wits. And she laughed softly, so I could
barely hear it and said "You know, Thompson, if I had known it would
be that good.. I would have taken us both to a party and got us drunk
MONTHS ago."

Smiling at her face, running a finger down her sweaty forehead, I
retorted, "And if I had known you were such a good lay, Kaitlin
Alfredsson, I would have woken up naked in bed with you months ago!"
We both shared a good laugh at that, and she kissed me, after checking
herself for blood (there was a little, but much less then we had been
led to believe from stories), she gingerly put on her panties, shorts
and a shirt, and headed towards the door.

Exhausted, and trying to figure out why she was LEAVING,  I managed to
protest "Wait, Kait.. you're leaving your bag!". At that, she just
half turned, and shook her head. "You really are a big dummy, Steve..
I brought the bag, because I plan on staying the night! I just need to
freshen up!" And with a jokingly derisive sniff, she left my dorm
room, in search of a women's bathroom.I watched her leave with a smile
on my face. God, what a difference a few hours makes, I thought to
myself. From the fear of losing my best friend at this place, to
finding a girl of my dreams. Could it get any better?

I took advantage of the situation, to grab another coke and try to
cool off. While I was pulling it out of the fridge, I noticed the
message light was still blinking. What the heck, I thought, and
setting the phone to speaker dial, called my voice mail box #, and
entered the password. I figured I'd hear Kaitlin's voice, and have
something to tease her about. But it wasn't Kaitlin's voice I heard.

"Hey, Steve, this is Paul from downstairs. Listen, I don't know if
you're home at not, but I think I owe you a big apology. You and
Kaitlin had a bit too much to drink, and me, Todd, and Shannon helped
escort the two of you back to your dorms. Only, Todd and Shannon
weren't much help, they weren't as bad off as you, but they were
definitely feeling it. When we got Kaitlin back to the dorm, you
nearly fell on her. I saw campus security outside, and didn't want to
risk a bust trying to get you back. We undressed you, and got you to
bed. Which is kinda a good thing, because the RA on the floor below
nailed two people for coming back drunk and disorderly, and we figured
that even if you woke up, you wouldn't leave the room, I mean, without
clothes and in the arms of a beautiful girl. I thought you and Kaitlin
were boyfriend and girlfriend. No harm, no foul, you know?" Only when
I talked to Todd today, he told me about how you guys never wanted to
let sex get in the way of a friendship. Hope I haven't damaged your
friendship with her too badly. Anyway. Let me know. Later."

I was still laughing and shaking my head ruefully, when Kaitlin came
back in, apparently all cleaned up. "What's so funny?", she asked. I
simply played the message for her, and watched her eyes first narrow,
then widen, and finally the smile on her face lit up her eyes as she
turned towards me as the last few words played. "You know, I don't
know whether to kick his ass for presuming we were that close, or
thank him for getting us together like this!" She said, shaking her
head in disbelief.

"Well, it all depends on how you respond to something." I tell her.
When she raised an eyebrow as an obvious demand for more information,
I continued "I don't know what the future brings, Kait.. all I know
is.. you and I still are the best of friends, and I'm not 100% sure,
but I think I can, no.. I am falling in love with you. I don't want to
scare you, or pressure you, but..."

She put a finger on my lips. "As you said. We'll take it as it goes.
Right now, we're right in between best friends and lovers. I guess you
could call it best friends plus, ok? Where it goes, I don't know. But
I'm going to take it one thing at a time. And the next thing..." she
said, the smile being accompanied with a bit of a blush for being so
forwards.. "is that I'm going to lead you back to that narrow bed of
yours, so we can do some serious cuddling together, so we can wake up,
and know EXACTLY what we did, and how good it was.. and maybe if... no,
WHEN we feel like it, we can do it all over again!"

I let her lead me to the bed and as she pulls me down into a kiss and
I allow her to grab the blankets, and tug them over the two of us, and
after the kiss ends, with my lips just a moment away from hers, I
whisper, "This time, when we wake up, promise not to send me away?"

Her response was an elbow to my ribs, and a lot of contented laughter,
which carried us through the night.

Author's Note: Well, when I said that I hoped my next story would be
easier to write, I didn't expect that to mean that I would be doing an
all-night session at my computer, into the morning. I finished this
one around 8 am, but this time I learned from my previous screw up
(double cut and paste, meaning I had to repost a corrected version,
oi!) But the comments I received were just about uniformly positive
reviews from folks.

And for that, I thank you all. Comments from readers are a writer's
true inspiration to keep writing. I always welcome comments, whether
they be good, bad, indifferent, whatever. Just to know that  people
are reading what I typed gives me what my friend Chris calls the "Warm
Fuzzies".  Hearing about what people think about it, makes the warm
fuzzies multiply by a thousand. 

Special thanks to Chris, TigersFan27 and JayJay for giving me a
pre-read nudge.
